Catapult Marketing Plan

Purpose: We are to hit a target at a specific location using a homemade catapult; how can we attain the ideal accuracy to strike the target by altering our catapult’s angle?
Introduction: We hypothesize that if we launch our catapult at 45 degrees, then the catapult will exert its maximum range and successfully hit the target.
Since the dawn of human intelligence, neanderthals have been using sticks and spears to kill animals. This method eventually transformed to the creation of catapults to launch objects such as boulders into walls, which similarly relates to our objective of launching a projectile into a desired target. The five different kinds of medieval catapults include ballista, springald, mangonel, onager, and trebuchet. Our catapult is going to be in

Ancient mangonel catapult had the maximum range of approximately 1300 feet. Correspondingly, our mangonel catapult will be one-fourteenth the size of that used by ancient Greeks and Romans, therefore it will likely exert a maximum range of about 93 feet, or one-fourth the length of a standard football field. In order to measure the maximum distance in comparison to the height of the desired target, we will adjust the angle of the catapult, which will act as our independent variable, or the variable that we will change. We hypothesized that at a 45 degree angle, the catapult will exert its maximum range and successfully strike the target. The perception of this hypothesis derives from the basis of vectors and projectiles. For example, if we were to take three different launch angles, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees, then the 60 degrees angle will achieve the peak height because it has the greatest vertical velocity, the 30 degrees angle will reach the ground the fastest because it has the smallest vertical velocity, and 45 degrees angle will achieve the greatest range because the vertical and horizontal velocities are the same, meaning that the time of the flight is coupled with the
